After one and a half month here in Naples I've
passed 400 hours of total flying time. That means
that I "only" have about 800 hours left
before I reach my goal here. I was flying alot last
week, with between 5 and 7 hours in the air each
day.
But towards the end of the week it all came to
a sudden stop when I caught a cold and one of my
wisdomteeth decided to start making trouble. So
now on Friday I'm going back to the dentist to extract
it. I had the choice between Dr Payne (a bit ironic)
and Dr Reed who is a dental surgeon/plastic surgeon.
I went with the last guy by instinct. Other than
that, I'm having trouble with the Norwegian government's
health insurrance who decided to be diffucult right
before my wisdomtooth started aching. It almost
seems like a government conspiracy against me, where
they are trying to help me as little as possible.
No scholarships, not even a loan, and now they won't
even help me if I get sick. The State of Welfare..
Norway.
At the moment I have 3 students, and I was supposed
to get one more on Friday, but because of my tooth
that never happened. One of my students, John, is
getting really close to his Commercial checkride,
while Charles went solo yesterday. Number 3 is Bert
who is doing his PPL on his spare time.
